The Pretzel
The pretzel is one of the original barre positions with a focus on the glutes and side core of the body. When done correctly, it will shape your glutes quickly and also help to reduce inches around your waist.
Tips for an effective pretzel position:
Try to do all of your reps in the best possible position as described in the set up.
Position: knee behind hip - ankle higher than knee - top hip rotated forward.
To modify - lean away from the midline of the body.
To increase the intensity, sit with a more upright posture and lean towards the working leg, raise the opposite arm and side bend towards the working leg.
To decrease the intensity, lean away from the working leg, keep working knee lower, stop and start as needed.
Brace the upper body abs in - shoulders down - chin open.
This exercise works very fast to create a lifted butt and chiseled waist, try it with me on this short video!
